This review is from: AMC Guide to Winter Hiking and Camping: Everything You Need to Plan Your Next Cold-Weather Adventure (Paperback)
It covers essentially everything you need to know for winter hiking and camping - wear, gear, food, drink, first aid, trip planning, etc. Though it apparently targets beginners, it is a pleasant and informative read for experienced hikers. I did quite some winter hiking summiting many peaks in New England before this book was published. Reading this book still expanded my knowledge. The authors are avid hikers as well as leaders for youth hiking and camping. The content of this book is from their own experience making this book very readable, relevant and practical.
Like many other outdoor educational literature, this book provides very conservative instructions that even people with limited fitness and no experience can follow to minimize risks. The most important factor of safety - physical condition - is not discussed at all. Overall, it is a very well written book. |
